The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace (1985)
Remember this day! It’s up there with JFK’s assassination and the death of Lady Diana. But in my world, undoubtedly, more significant.

commentsThis is the Talking Heads record that got away. While familiar with some of the songs on subsequent live records or compilations, this is the first time I’ve actually had the pleasure of listening to the whole record.
commentsTheme: “take the rough with the smooth” (however you wish to interpret).
commentsOne of my go to records when you just want to get smacked around the head (sonically speaking) without any serious investment or effort.
commentsI listened to the solo album of sibling Peter Brewis last night and just couldn’t get enough. (I just had to listen to a couple of tracks multiple times to un-suspend my disbelief).
commentsThe moment I pushed the small, shiny, bit-encoded, digital data storage format, optical disc into my optical drive transport and digital analogue conversion mechanism, I instantly realised “Fuck this is good!
commentsThrew a random “C” this evening. Too hot to think about objectively choosing something to listen to. This will do quite nicely thank you.
commentsHeard a great song on the way home from work today by kiwi band “Supermodel”. It reminded me a lot of Prefab Sprout.
commentsThere’s something rather comforting about Laurie Anderson. She’s very much an “Emperor’s New Clothes” protagonist. While written following the big financial crisis of 2008, it just seems so relevant in today’s bonkers world.
commentsThis husband and wife led Quebecois collective hail from Montreal, home of Arcade Fire. While their sound is just as monstrous it definitely feels like it comes from another planet altogether.
